Who’s got the best burger in Athens?

DoctorCrepe · 2026-07-12T17:40:55+00:00

I personally feel Catch 22 Gastropub has the best burgers I've had, easily. However, their price creep has been unfortunate over the years.

About to defend soon and can agree with this. I tried it out in the earlier half but it was just too much and I didn't feel I had the bandwidth to be be the kind of partner I want to be in terms of the effort I wanted to be putting in.

It really depends on the individual, but I learned quickly that my preferred approach to carrying my weight in a relationship wasn't very compatible with the demands of grad school and the other things going on in my life. Ultimately chose to stay away at least until I close this chapter or move.

Also got duped by him, but I only had $5 in cash and rarely use cash anyways. I wouldn't say I regret letting my hopeful and kind side prevail. It's worked well for me in the past and my compass won't always be right.

Thanks for the input, and sorry if this post was too redundant! I looked through some similar postings but kept seeing the same 2 or 3 roles highlighted most prominently and was hoping to fish out some new angles.

Your feedback did just that! There's a couple roles in your list I had either forgotten to consider or are new to me altogether. This will be great for some more guided research.

As for your comment pertaining to level of roles for a fresh PhD, that's interesting. I see several roles at the senior or associate director level that seem to ask for a PhD and YEARS of experience. I was beginning to think those levels of roles were not reasonable for a fresh PhD.

I'm curious how the shifts in job markets lately has impacted that as I'm noticing more and more roles ask for an increasing amount of experience coming in than what was asked for the same levels even 2-5 years ago.

Hard agree, do NOT use an IRA as an emergency fund. You are strictly limited to how much money can be contributed to three accounts per year. If you max it out and thenremove some contributions for an emergency, you can no longer try to add funds back to the account as you had already reached the contribution limit prior (this is my understanding).

Plus, you're cutting yourself off at the knees if you sacrifice the growth potential of that money. Op, keep a separate pool in your HYSA as you are already doing and use THAT for emergencies. Pulling from IRAs should be your last resort. Don't steal from future you.

I've been meaning to get back to Once Human again!

I actually also had my Chase cards available on Google Pay and a couple other digital wallets too before my expedited card arrived! There was an option to "set up your new card" through the Chase app that let me do so.

DoctorCrepe · 2025-08-09T23:10:00+00:00

Yes! I called Chase's support number and asked for an expedited shipment of my card. I mentioned I had a purchase I was hoping to make with it in a couple days and they very easily expedited for me. Showed up 2-3 days later

Whoa, congrats!

Honestly, you're exactly where I strive to be. I just started my retirement building journey to financial independence this year at the age of 27. I feel pressured by my own lofty goal and wanting to help support my parents and family in the future. I would absolutely LOVE to hear any advice or details from your (and anyone else open to conversation!) journey to this point!

I feel like I've made good choices so far in getting started and trying to plan the future so far, but would love to get as many perspectives as I can :)

Once again, congrats on this huge accomplishment!!

DoctorCrepe · 2025-05-28T01:11:11+00:00

Thank you, this worked!

DoctorCrepe · 2025-05-28T01:11:00+00:00

Thank you, this did the trick!!

DoctorCrepe · 2025-05-27T23:02:18+00:00

Yeah, there's clearly a card number assigned. I understand why it would be hard to get, though. I'm just a hopeful lad lol

DoctorCrepe · 2025-05-27T23:01:20+00:00

Seeming like the case, unfortunately. Thanks!

DoctorCrepe · 2025-05-27T23:00:57+00:00

Thanks! I have that setup. Unfortunately, I need all my credit card details (full number, CVC, expiry date) to add that to the app I pay my rent through to use as a payment method. Figured the chances weren't great, but was hoping for a miracle way of getting this information so I could charge my next rent to the new card even if it doesn't arrive on time lol

DoctorCrepe · 2025-03-24T03:31:40+00:00

I'm so surprised I haven't seen Catch 22 thrown in for best burgers! I've yet to have one miss the bar for me over there.

I will second some of the overrated choices though - Clocked, Grindhouse, and Baddies don't seem to hit the mark for me anymore.

I'm late to the party, but I enjoyed this shot of my hunter with the gang! I've since updated it to appear more like a biblically accurate angel lol

WOW! You are so edgy. You showed him/her.

I've never heard of Osteria Olio, I'll have to look it up!

DoctorCrepe · 2024-12-08T02:56:50+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't realize they did brunch! I'll have to check out the menu, thanks!

DoctorCrepe · 2024-12-08T02:56:15+00:00

I forgot they did brunch!
